Analysis of protein sequence/structure similarity relationships.

چکیده
Current analyses of protein sequence/structure relationships have focused on expected similarity relationships for structurally similar proteins. To survey and explore the basis of these relationships, we present a general sequence/structure map that covers all combinations of similarity/dissimilarity relationships and provide novel energetic analyses of these relationships. To aid our analysis, we divide protein relationships into four categories: expected/unexpected similarity (S and S(?)) and expected/unexpected dissimilarity (D and D(?)) relationships. In the expected similarity region S, we show that trends in the sequence/structure relation can be derived based on the requirement of protein stability and the energetics of sequence and structural changes. Specifically, we derive a formula relating sequence and structural deviations to a parameter characterizing protein stiffness; the formula fits the data reasonably well. We suggest that the absence of data in region S(?) (high structural but low sequence similarity) is due to unfavorable energetics. In contrast to region S, region D(?) (high sequence but low structural similarity) is well-represented by proteins that can accommodate large structural changes. Our analyses indicate that there are several categories of similarity relationships and that protein energetics provide a basis for understanding these relationships.

Peroxidase enzymes are vastly applicable in industry and diagnosiss. Recently, we introduced a new kind of peroxidase gene from Lepidium draba (LDP). According to protein multiple sequence alignment results, LDP had 93% similarity and 88.96% identity with horseradish peroxidase C1A (HRP C1A). In the current study we employed in silico tools to determine, to which group of peroxidase enzymes LDP...

متن کاملMolecular characterization of apolipoprotein A-I from the skin mucosa of Cyprinus carpio
Apolipoprotein A-I is the most abundant protein in Cyprinus carpio plasma that plays an important role in lipid transport and protection of the skin by means of its antimicrobial activity. A 527 bp cDNA fragment encoding C terminus part of apoA-I from the skin mucosa of common carp was isolated using RT-PCR. After GenBank database searching, a partial sequence containing a coding sequence (CDS)...
